Happy 1st Birthday Paisley!

Yesterday the 16th was Paisley's 1st birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by...has it really?!?! We had such a fun time celebrating it. Paisley doesn't seem like a baby anymore. She got some fun things for her special day and she even got to destroy her first cake. She loved it. She couldn't believe what she was able to do at first but then, dug in without any hesitation. With a little help from her mom she was soon covered! Paisley has been so much to have in our family and we are grateful to be her parents. Happy Birthday Paisley!

I am 1!! Happy Birthday!

A tribute to my one and only

I am not one with words, but it needs to come out. I need to thank my sweet husband for all he does for our family. He is trying so hard and I can't complain. The only hard thing to deal with with him is trying to be as good as he is. I often wonder how I got to keep him and sometimes I don't feel good enough, which I'm sure we all feel that way with our husbands sometimes. But, no matter what I do, whether he likes it or not....he still continues to love me. He is an amazing father and does the best he can to balance what is really important to him in his life. Thanks for all you do and for putting up with this roller coaster woman. You are the best. I love you!

Paisley loves you so much!

You always know how to have a good time! (Paisley is filled with Rummikub tiles :)

A discovering Paisley

This is Paisley's favorite toy. She can finally reach the floor and she can make herself jump.

Paisley has learned to dance. She usually grabs on to a chair and starts moving her hips...but of course she doesn't do it when she is on camera right?!?!? Oh well, it was cute anyway.

Paisley is now walking. She would walk back and forth to us a few feet away and then on the 23rd of July, while I was down at my sisters house, she just took off. I guess she was around Jill's kids and wanted to do everything they were doing. So, she just let go and went. She has neversat since. Every where we go she has to be walking. Even at church she won't sit still. It has been fun to have her walk but she is very independent.
